Data Annotation - Fill Datagrid

Is there a way to use "Data Annotation - Properties" to populate the DataGridView without having to set column name?
Ex:
[Column("First Name")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[Column("Last Name")]
public string LastName { get; set; }

Hi Rodrigo, 

Thanks for Syncfusion product. 

In GridDataBoundGrid can populate the columns automatically based on the bounded collection underlying datasource but does not have the direct support for Data Annotation. But, you can achieve your scenario by using HeaderText property. Please refer to the below code example 
 
Code example 
Using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; 
 
[Display(Name = "Category Name")] 
public string CategoryName 
{ 
                get 
                { 
                                return this.cat_Name; 
                } 
                set 
                { 
                                this.cat_Name = value; 
                } 
} 
 
Data d = new Data(); 
foreach (GridBoundColumn column in columns) 
{ 
    var col = (d.GetType().GetProperty(column.MappingName)).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayAttribute), true); 
    if (col is DisplayAttribute[] && (col as DisplayAttribute[]).Count() > 0) 
    { 
        string headerText = (col as DisplayAttribute[])[0].Name; 
        column.HeaderText = headerText; 
    } 
} 
 
 
Sample link: GridDataBoundGrid 
 
Note:  
Moreover, you can use GridGroupingControl instead of GridDataboundGridGridGroupingControl has more features and more flexibility compared to GridDataBoundGrid.
